Asking Interpretive Research Questions

A. Hypothetical: How would things be different today if something in the past had been different?
     Write a hypothetical question about your topic:
How would things be different today if there was no such thing as cancer? Pretty much anything can cause cancer, so what if all of these things didnt exist or cause all of the harmful effects that they do? Would there be a career in the medical field field? How many jobs would be lost?

B. Prediction: How will something look or be in the future, based on the way it is now?
     Write a prediction question about your topic:
If more and more things can cause cancer, then how will things be in the future? There is no cure to cancer. Several years from now if a cure was found what would happen? Will people be able to afford this new treatment, pill, etc? I dont wish anything bad on anyone, especially cancer, but what would happen to all of the employed professionals in the health care field?

C. Solution: What solutions can be offered to a problem that exists today?
     Write a solution question about your topic:
Is there any more tests or research that can ve done to look for a cure any more? Because so many products cause cancer how can we make people more aware and actually care about what they are learning. How can people get this message across? People die everyday from this disease and something needs to be done.

D. Comparison: Find the similarities and differences between the main subject and a similar subject; or with another subject in the same time period or place.
     Write a comparison question about your topic:
What is the difference between a registered nurse and an oncology nurse? How are the demands for each the same? How are the demands for each different? How are the roles performed by each the same and different?

E. Judgment: Based on the information you find, what can you say as your informed opinion about the subject?
    Write a judgment question about your topic:
Both a registered nurse and oncology nurse need schooling in order to recieve a masters degree. The demands for both are extremely high. The nature of work is completely different however. How does putting something in your body cause cancer? How would the demands of an oncology nurse affect someone later in life?
